Sometimes I feel like a Buddhist and I need to chant; sometimes a Baptist and I need to holler and shout; and sometimes I need to be a Catholic and need to purge my sins and confess. It just depends on where I am.

I could float in the pool for hours, just letting the water carry me.

When I write a song, I tap into the emotion and the feeling and then I use the emotion to write the words. It's the opposite when I act. I use the words and tap into the emotion.

Ain't nothing coming easily in this life. Sometimes you gotta work, you gotta grow and it gotta hurt.

When I get onstage, I automatically feel beautiful.

When I was 12, I wrote a list of things to do before I died. Own a Picasso was one of those things.

I need to find creative diversity because if I get stuck, I get unhappy.
